Speaker 4: Good morning, love shark Jess, how y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 2: Good morning?
Speaker 4: So we start this morning and Gary into Gary, Indiana,
Speaker 4: where thirty thousand customers have been without power now for
Speaker 4: thirteen days, probably fourteen days, almost two weeks after a
Speaker 4: deadly storm hit the area. So the storm brought tornadoes, flooding,
Speaker 4: and winds reaching one hundred miles per hour.
Speaker 2: Seven people were killed.
Speaker 4: Now families they say they still cannot keep food or medicine,
Speaker 4: cold power, medical equipment, or charge their phones, and some
Speaker 4: neighborhoods are still completely.
Speaker 2: In the dark.
Speaker 4: Gary Mayor Eddie Gary Mayor Eddie Melton. He says, there
Speaker 4: is no excuse for this to be going on this long.
Speaker 4: Let's listen today.
Speaker 13: I want the people of Gary to know this. I
Speaker 13: want you to know that I share that frustration. I've
Speaker 13: stayed in strict communications with NIPSCOE, and I have made
Speaker 13: it very clear that the current pace of restoration is unacceptable.
Speaker 13: While NIPSKO has set a target date of August twenty
Speaker 13: fifth for full restoration, power is still being restored as
Speaker 13: we speak right now, and I am still pressing them
Speaker 13: to fully restore Gary's power before the August twenty fifth day,
Speaker 13: which is this Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Hey man, to me, this is all one big social
Speaker 1: experiment because for years they've been telling us that it
Speaker 1: was going to be some type of national blackout.
Speaker 7: So I don't think none of this is coincidence. But
Speaker 7: don't listen to me.
Speaker 5: How are people eating? Like, how are they drinking? Eating?
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
Speaker 8: I mean like that's not healthy because if the power
Speaker 8: is out, the refrigerators, the freezers.
Speaker 5: And everything, all the food is spoiled.
Speaker 8: And then if there's no power at all in the
Speaker 8: whole city, is it just the residents meting, I'm sure
Speaker 8: it's the whole city, Like no businesses, everything is shut.
Speaker 4: Down, businesses, schools, everything shut down. Getting food well, Several
Speaker 4: groups are stepping up to help I know World Central
Speaker 4: Kitchen and serving mills. I know Rapportray the Truth. He
Speaker 4: brought an eighteen wheeler supplies up more than a thousand
Speaker 4: families today. Food critic Keith Lee and NBA star Tyrese Halliburton,
Speaker 4: they're there to distribute more supplies. You can check Keith
Speaker 4: Lee's instagram for the location, and you know residents there.
Speaker 2: They are just basically just as you said, just.
Speaker 4: Trying to figure out how to feed their families, how
Speaker 4: to get air conditioned, go to cooling centers and things
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 2: They meet a lot of the residents.
Speaker 4: They file class action lawsuits against the power company accusing
Speaker 4: them of failing to maintain the trees near those power
Speaker 4: lines that this goes. They are denying any wrongdoing, but
Speaker 4: they say that they will fight that lawsuit if brought
Speaker 4: to them. And my full interview with Mayor Melton is
Speaker 4: available on my podcast, and he explains how to get
Speaker 4: how to get assistance, where to find cooling and charging stations,
Speaker 4: how to apply for reimbursement.
Speaker 2: If you need it for some of the things that you've.
Speaker 4: Had to come out of your pocket with, and to
Speaker 4: remember to call two one one if you are any
Speaker 4: sort of emergency. If you need anything, you can always
Speaker 4: call two one one. And now, what's also making a
Speaker 4: lot of noise this morning is Memphis. They are dealing
Speaker 4: with the same type of crisis.
Speaker 14: A pow storm.
Speaker 2: Yes, it moved through the city on Saturday, bringing winds
Speaker 2: up to eighty miles per hour.
Speaker 4: Now, at the height of the storm, more than one
Speaker 4: hundred and forty thousand customers lost power and as of
Speaker 4: last night, more than eighty thousand.
Speaker 2: We're still in the dark.
Speaker 4: Schools are closed, businesses are closed, and tens of thousands
Speaker 4: of families there are also without air condition as temperatures
Speaker 4: are climbing into the nineties. They say crews are working
Speaker 4: to restore power at the utility company, Memphis Light, Gas
Speaker 4: and Water says damage is so widespread it cannot tell
Speaker 4: every customer when the lights will be back on now.
Speaker 4: Tennessee State Representative Justin J. P. Pearson says AI data
Speaker 4: centers share some of the blame for what's going on.
Speaker 2: Let's listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 15: Memphis is a majority black city where a quarter of
Speaker 15: the population currently live underneath the poverty line. And this
Speaker 15: is the same place where Elon Musk chose to build
Speaker 15: the country's largest set of data centers, which have the
Speaker 15: same electric grid as Memphis.
Speaker 9: Families now without power.
Speaker 15: Also left in the dark right now are tens of
Speaker 15: thousands of residents of Gary, Indiana who've been without power
Speaker 15: for almost two weeks now. And Gary is a city
Speaker 15: where seventy five to eighty percent of its residents are
Speaker 15: black and the third of the residents are living below
Speaker 15: the poverty line. And Indiana is home to one hundred
Speaker 15: and forty seven, yes, one hundred and forty seven data centers,
Speaker 15: and Gary's electric grid powers eight of them. This energy
Speaker 15: demand calls residence utility builds to skyrocket. And now we're
Speaker 15: dealing with what's going on right now.
Speaker 7: I told y'all that last week. Listen, it's only going
Speaker 7: to get worse.
Speaker 1: It's a combination of extreme weather because of climate change, uh,
Speaker 1: the aging infrastructure, and yes, surging powers from AI data centers.
Speaker 7: It's going to continue to cause these things to happen.
Speaker 11: And I know it's crazy, but I talked to the
Speaker 11: Trader Truth yesterday about the work that they were doing
Speaker 11: in Gary, Indiana, and he was seeing a lot of
Speaker 11: the work that they did was just clearing the way
Speaker 11: for people to be able to even get Some people
Speaker 11: were stuck in their homes, couldn't get to their home.
Speaker 11: So not only do you not have power, but like
Speaker 11: they're literally like their residences. Like people are like trapped
Speaker 11: and people are just not going to help them, so
Speaker 11: like they don't even know they can't even get out
Speaker 11: to fight, like and nobody's coming through the help and
Speaker 11: it's like, yeah, like they were literally there for a
Speaker 11: long time, just getting taguing.
Speaker 8: Gary, get out there, speaking of Gary, Indiana. That's why
Speaker 8: Michael Jackson made that song. They don't really care about us.
Speaker 7: All Right, Maybe what's next?
Speaker 8: Michael Jackson's from Gary, right, He from Gary.
Speaker 1: He is from Gary.

Speaker 11: Music for those of you guys who anybody that might
Speaker 11: not be familiar with Quality Control Music.

Speaker 11: Little baby City girls. You know, Quality Control had a
Speaker 11: huge YACHTI under Quality Control as well too.
Speaker 5: But over the.
Speaker 11: Weekend, uh P Pierre tom And suffered a heart attack
Speaker 11: in Vegas. Me Now, when their news dropped, the reports
Speaker 11: were confusing. TMZ had did a report saying that he
Speaker 11: had suffered a heart attack and that he was in
Speaker 11: ICU care, which of course is really serious. There were
Speaker 11: other outlets that were pronouncing him as not alive anymore.
Speaker 1: And then I don't understand how people just jump out
Speaker 1: dre and say that, yeah, God, how do you just
Speaker 1: jump out there and say somebody pathway like you don't
Speaker 1: even try.
Speaker 7: To cite your sources.
Speaker 1: You don't try to check, no check and make sure
Speaker 1: that's correct before you just put that out there.
Speaker 2: I don't know where that came from.
Speaker 11: But when I saw TMZ story and then I saw
Speaker 11: the reports of him passing away, because I've learned here
Speaker 11: to kind of like not jump into these type of
Speaker 11: things because they're so sensitive as urgently as I normally would.
Speaker 11: But I was confused, and I wanted to make sure
Speaker 11: that I understood it best for when we talked about it.
Speaker 11: So I reached out to a rep that I Knew
Speaker 11: for Quality Control, who sent over the statement that QC
Speaker 11: had also posted as well too, just stating that they
Speaker 11: needed to make it clear that he was alive and
Speaker 11: that they were asking everybody to keep him in their
Speaker 11: prayers and their thoughts and give him and his family
Speaker 11: the privacy they need during this time. And they said that,
Speaker 11: you know, they appreciate everybody's concerned and support, but they're
Speaker 11: acting just for loving energy right now. And I did
Speaker 11: see a video that Pea's mom that was circulating that
Speaker 11: his mother had posted as well.
Speaker 2: She was pretty upset about the reports. Let's take a listen.
Speaker 23: Let me strain y'all all out. First of all, my
Speaker 23: son is not dead. No matter what my son has
Speaker 23: done to me, no matter what he's done in you,
Speaker 23: he's still my child. Somebody did this to y'all, and
Speaker 23: I know it because there's neurologically.
Speaker 9: No reason years alive.
Speaker 10: Is he Well, No, don't.
Speaker 23: Count nobody out thinking about life.
Speaker 9: We read. What we're seing is life.
Speaker 23: So me, I'm a child of God, So don't matter
Speaker 23: what you did to me, I can't walk away from
Speaker 23: my child like that. I don't know what who gave
Speaker 23: TMZ that story, but cut the line. He's healing, he's recovering. Yes,
Speaker 23: and I'm here he raising up like lass, Okay.
Speaker 1: No matter what my son has done to me, no
Speaker 1: matter what he has done to you. That's a pretty
Speaker 1: backhanded U.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm like, damn, get bid without that.
Speaker 7: Some positive energy? Like what's that about?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Anyway, then she said it twice sending prayers.
Speaker 7: Up to P.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, nothing but a positive energy
Speaker 1: to that brother. As soon as I heard that news,
Speaker 1: that's the first thing I did was get down on
Speaker 1: my knees to pray. Like, you know, people be so
Speaker 1: quick to want a text and you know, post and like, Yo,
Speaker 1: did you actually pray for the brother when you heard
Speaker 1: the news? Did you? Like, I really want to. I
Speaker 1: really want you all to think about that. When y'all
Speaker 1: hear these type of things happen, do y'all really sit
Speaker 1: down and pray?
Speaker 7: Or do y'all just get on social media and put
Speaker 7: thoughts and prayers? Did you really send up a prayer?
Speaker 11: I wonder at least a darrel ll recover him. I
Speaker 11: don't like just just a liner something.
Speaker 19: Yeah.
Speaker 7: He's a good guy. Yeah, Me and P always ben solid.
Speaker 7: He's a great brother man.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so you know, spent sending him a get well

Speaker 11: to gez uh. Yeah that's the latest for the hour.
Speaker 1: All right, we got from Page News with Maybe Brown.
Speaker 7: We come back. It's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the World No Thangers Morning Show to Breakfast Club,
Speaker 1: DJ NVJ, Hilarias Charlamagne of god Envia's own vacation. But
Speaker 1: right now it's time for Front Page News with Tamisha Brown.
Speaker 7: Good morning to.
Speaker 4: Misham, good morning, thank you, Good morning y'all. So we
Speaker 4: start this hour with a Texas judge denying Carmelo Anthony's
Speaker 4: request for a new trial. So Anthony is serving thirty
Speaker 4: five years in prison for fatally stabbing seventeen year old
Speaker 4: Austin Metcalf at a high school track meet that Anthony
Speaker 4: said he acted in self defense, but a jury rejected.
Speaker 2: That argument and convicted him of murder.
Speaker 4: Now his new legal team, they argued that decisions made
Speaker 4: by his former trial attorneys prevented him from receiving a
Speaker 4: fair trial.
Speaker 2: Before that the trial.
Speaker 4: Before the trial, Anthony's former attorneys and prosecutors they made
Speaker 4: this private, unwritten agreement to keep damaging information from both
Speaker 4: teenagers away from the jury. Now that included allegations of
Speaker 4: racist behavior, bullying involving Metcalf, and alleged threatening messages in Anthony.
Speaker 2: Now Anthony's former attorneys, they planned to have him testify.
Speaker 4: They said they wanted him to testify, but after a
Speaker 4: dispute over what prosecutors could ask him, he ended up
Speaker 4: staying off the witness stand. Now his new legal team,
Speaker 4: they argued that that prevented Anthony from fully defending himself
Speaker 4: and the new judge in the case, though he rejected
Speaker 4: that argument and denied the request for a new trial.
Speaker 4: So now the fight moves to the appeals court, where
Speaker 4: legal experts say his new legal team will continue searching
Speaker 4: for evidence to help overturn his conviction.
Speaker 24: Let's listen, So when somebody sentenced to a sentence like that,
Speaker 24: which was thirty five years in almost a life sentence,
Speaker 24: there will be plenty of time to relitigate this exact matter.
Speaker 24: Right away, they brought it up, said, you know, new
Speaker 24: lawyers said, hey, there was this gentleman's agreement, much to
Speaker 24: our client's detriment. Shouldn't happened, you know, his bad practice
Speaker 24: on their part. So they wanted to get in there
Speaker 24: right away and get a new trial. Look, it's been denied.
Speaker 24: He's going to go up on appeal. But while that's pending,
Speaker 24: they can continue to get gather evidence, do some research, investigate,
Speaker 24: get more evidence about this gentleman's agreement, kind of look
Speaker 24: at the record, determine how it really prejudiced him, refile emotion.
Speaker 24: You can file a new trial motion on new evidence
Speaker 24: just about any time. So this is not the end
Speaker 24: of this case, not at all.
Speaker 7: A pill gonna take years though, right, it is gonna
Speaker 7: take years.
Speaker 2: It is gonna take years.
Speaker 4: Anthony's attorneys and his families say the denial does not
Speaker 4: in the case as we just said though, and they
Speaker 4: will pursue every legal option available to them. But for now,
Speaker 4: his murderer conviction and his thirty five year sentence remains
Speaker 4: in place. So we'll continue to watch this as it
Speaker 4: plays out and bring you any new updates as they
Speaker 4: become available.
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody surprised by this though, right. Like my
Speaker 1: dad always said, trouble is easy to get into and
Speaker 1: hard to get out of. I mean, somebody is very
Speaker 1: dead in this situation. I just never understand why people
Speaker 1: don't want folks to testify, especially if they have nothing
Speaker 1: to hide, you know.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, very very hard to get out of once
Speaker 4: once you've already been convicted.
Speaker 2: Those are very slippery slopes there.
Speaker 4: And we have a sad update to a story we
Speaker 4: told you about last week. So you guys remember the
Speaker 4: grandmother that we spoke about that disappeared in Vegas. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: So Alyssa Goods, the New York grandmother who disappeared during
Speaker 4: a Las Vegas trip. She has been found dead after
Speaker 4: missing for nearly two weeks. Yes, authorities say her body
Speaker 4: was discovered in a drainage ditch near the Las Vegas Airport.
Speaker 4: Police say surveillance video shows Goods falling down an embankment,
Speaker 4: getting back up, and then collapsing and then she did
Speaker 4: not move again. Now, when we spoke about this last week,
Speaker 4: you know, she left for CBS. Maybe there was some
Speaker 4: foul play, was what was being reported. Someone was calling
Speaker 4: from her cell phone asking her friends and family for money.
Speaker 4: But after that fall, authorities say that she wasn't seen
Speaker 4: from the street because she fell at the bottom of
Speaker 4: a slope. And her daughter now says that she had
Speaker 4: recently undergone several leg surgeries and had difficulty walking. And
Speaker 4: we're waiting on police to release the official cause of
Speaker 4: death so that when sixty three years old.
Speaker 5: Yeah, she looks young.
Speaker 2: She looks young.
Speaker 4: She was walking, she didn't she didn't drive, so she
Speaker 4: took the bus to CBS, and then I guess on
Speaker 4: the way she ended up going to CBS because there
Speaker 4: is video of her NCBs. The store manager remembered her.
Speaker 4: But as she was leaving, she ended up falling or collapsing.
Speaker 4: It's still unsure exactly what happened to her, and they
Speaker 4: said that she she just wasn't seen again until two
Speaker 4: days later when she was found in that drainage ditch. Story.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a story.
Speaker 4: You guys may remember the former Illinois sheriff deputy who
Speaker 4: was convicted of killing Sonya and Massy in her home.
Speaker 4: He has died in prison. So Sean Grayson. He was
Speaker 4: serving a twenty year sentence for a second degree murder Macy.
Speaker 4: She was the thirty six year old black mother of two.
Speaker 4: She was in Chicago. She called nine one one for help.
Speaker 4: This happened back in twenty twenty four. Does this ring
Speaker 4: a bell at all? Yeah, you guys, absolutely, okay, absolutely, okay. Well, Grayson,
Speaker 4: he served only about six months of that sentence before
Speaker 4: his death, ended up having stage three colon cancer, which spread.
Speaker 4: He was later diagnosed with stage four rectal cancer and cancer.
Speaker 2: Of his liver and lungs.
Speaker 4: So he had asked to be released early from prison
Speaker 4: under an Illinois law that lets people with terminal cancer
Speaker 4: and other serious medical conditions get out early, but the
Speaker 4: state denied his request the unanimous vote just about three
Speaker 4: weeks ago, and his attorneys confirmed that he died yesterday
Speaker 4: and no other details have been given. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: that that happened. I mean, there's a lot of heavy story,
Speaker 4: So we're going to end with a little bit of
Speaker 4: good news because this is where college dudent and parents
Speaker 4: maybe as well. So before we go, the cost of tuition, textbooks,
Speaker 4: and everything else of course that comes with college can
Speaker 4: be expensive. Of door Dash since they are offering students
Speaker 4: one way to save college parents and college students can
Speaker 4: now get one free year of student Dash pass, so
Speaker 4: that includes no delivery costs and lower service fees on
Speaker 4: eligible orders. You must verify that you are a student
Speaker 4: and sign up by October twelfth, so they're urging college
Speaker 4: students to take advantage. This could come in handy during
Speaker 4: those late night study sessions. But just remember that it
Speaker 4: will automatically renew at the student rate after a year
Speaker 4: unless you cancel.
Speaker 1: I mean that's great, but what I really need is
Speaker 1: free food.
Speaker 4: Free delivery, right, the food is still expensive?
Speaker 1: How much does door dash costs? Like, I mean, what
Speaker 1: do they wave your and your service fees?
Speaker 7: Like what?
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what they're saying. So on some it says
Speaker 4: eligible orders whatever that means, right, But but free delivery
Speaker 4: and some service fees on eligible orders, and you know
Speaker 4: those fees add up, right, They've got a fee for everything.
Speaker 5: So exactly I told you about this last week.
Speaker 8: I said that I already started seeing that, like doordare
Speaker 8: state they are like ten twenty dollars cheaper right now
Speaker 8: because like they're slashing prices and I see the eligible
Speaker 8: whatever thing I'm on DoorDash right now actually getting some
Speaker 8: That's how I'm actually able to see now. But I
Speaker 8: don't know what makes you eligible or not because I'm
Speaker 8: not signed up with the rewards program. But they're definitely
Speaker 8: cutting like cutting down on fees for right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean that that'll be great in areas where you know,
Speaker 1: these colleges have active meal plans with like the restaurants
Speaker 1: in fast places around the area.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And I just think college general, college students
Speaker 4: in general. You know, if there's something you don't like
Speaker 4: or was late at nine cafeterias closed, you know there
Speaker 4: you go. All right, y'all, Well that is your front page.

Speaker 26: everybody that was in the third act they had to
Speaker 26: They didn't make the movie, the people, I mean, I
Speaker 26: don't know, but they didn't make They didn't make this
Speaker 26: first one, you know what I mean.
Speaker 9: And so to redo it and bring.
Speaker 26: Me in was like, I was like a power of
Speaker 26: God to me, you know what I mean, Like, how
Speaker 26: can you even fathom that happening?
Speaker 9: You know what I mean? You wanted something so bad,
Speaker 9: not to the point where I was tripping.
Speaker 11: I just said it.
Speaker 9: Out loud, you know what I mean.
Speaker 26: And I was like, and that ain't even how I
Speaker 26: manifest things. I manifest things backwards, you know. I say
Speaker 26: I'm not gonna have.
Speaker 9: Nothing, and the.
Speaker 14: Like, for real, do you.
Speaker 26: I manifest things like that, Like you ever got like
Speaker 26: lose lea your phone out and you go to the
Speaker 26: bathroom and the ring. Yes, so you'll be in your mind,
Speaker 26: my mind, and this is gonna sound weird. Stick with
Speaker 26: me in the universe. I go like this, if I
Speaker 26: want my phone to ring, then I just I won't
Speaker 26: bring it in the bathroom because I know it's gonna ring.
Speaker 9: Right. Same thing.
Speaker 26: If I'm driving, listen, listen, I'm driving and I dropped
Speaker 26: my phone and I want to grab my phone, I'm
Speaker 26: gonna catch every green light because the universe ain't gonna
Speaker 26: let me grab my phone.
Speaker 2: The second one got me there. The first one I was.
Speaker 9: Stick with me.
Speaker 26: So how about if I'm late somewhere, how about if
Speaker 26: I put on my phone down the green lights, I'm
Speaker 26: gonna make all the green lights. So I try to
Speaker 26: figure out how to make that work for me.
Speaker 7: Grab your phone in the university red light.
Speaker 9: There we go.
Speaker 26: So if I throw my phone down, I'm gonna catch
Speaker 26: all the green lights and then I'm gonna make it
Speaker 26: to my place on time.
Speaker 11: You think, God hear you be like, I'm not gonna
Speaker 11: do it. He'd be like, let me just show you, yo.
Speaker 9: I just think that they go opposite.
Speaker 26: Like if you're looking for a parking space, you ain't
Speaker 26: gonna find one, right, But if you ride by your
Speaker 26: favorite store, it's gonna be all the parking spaces in
Speaker 26: the world because you wasn't even looking for one.
Speaker 9: You get what I mean? Just like when you find.
Speaker 26: Your boyfriend or whatever, you probably wasn't even looking for him, right.
Speaker 26: You know that guy that told me, Yeah, the guy
Speaker 26: that cussed me out that day, he didn't.
Speaker 7: Even cuss which one he didn't cuss, but he was mean.

Speaker 9: Why am I I'm not hitting you up, like y'all
Speaker 9: what up girl?
Speaker 14: What's happening?

Speaker 11: What you're doings about my mom were April twenty second,
Speaker 11: that hey you was May thirty first, at twelve eleven,
Speaker 11: am we ever even had any And I said that,
Speaker 11: but I think he didn't like it.
Speaker 1: You shouldn't have that kind of insecurity because of your
Speaker 1: line of work.
Speaker 2: I mean, yes and no. I think he understands my
Speaker 2: line of work.
Speaker 11: But at twelve one, am just saying hey you with
Speaker 11: no context.
Speaker 26: And I was like, but listen, we are out at
Speaker 26: the Roots picnic.
Speaker 2: I just know you saw me at the room.
Speaker 26: So we so we lead a Root's picnic and everybody
Speaker 26: out kicking it, everybody somewhere, everybody hanging out.
Speaker 6: See.
Speaker 2: I think but if you had said hey, where you
Speaker 2: headed after?
Speaker 1: I know your man was giving you know I'm not
Speaker 1: on that.
Speaker 2: I know that he don't know you.
Speaker 7: When I walked up.
Speaker 9: To you, I was like, hey, what's going on?
Speaker 19: Man?
Speaker 2: I said, I was hitting.
Speaker 26: You find out what was going on, and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 26: I know you had us something like that, and I
Speaker 26: was like this, no, I think I was like I said,
Speaker 26: I said, I said, I hit you and he was like, yeah,
Speaker 26: I know it was like that, and I.
Speaker 2: Said, I don't think that that's for me. I think
Speaker 2: after after twelve on a.
Speaker 26: Little But if we're out at the roots picnic and
Speaker 26: I don't know that you're with your man and I'm
Speaker 26: going there and I know you know what's popping and
Speaker 26: I'm going, but I think so I shouldn't hit you
Speaker 26: at one if we the I.
Speaker 2: Didn't even know you saw me.
Speaker 26: You you're going up, and also with your guy. Let
Speaker 26: your guy know I like vintage pieces, you know, like
Speaker 26: I only mess with women that text me good night
Speaker 26: at six o'clock. Them the women I mess with. Everybody
Speaker 26: know this, this is what it is. Let your man know.
Speaker 26: I think he's a great guy. I just don't, you know,
Speaker 26: I don't let him.
Speaker 1: Know that I wasn't.
Speaker 9: I wasn't on that.
Speaker 1: By the way, you're Lauren Lorossa, You're the entertainment girl
Speaker 1: was going on.
Speaker 11: But I do think that every now and then, it's like,
Speaker 11: because there have been circumstances where the hey you is
Speaker 11: not about where you headed.
Speaker 9: It's like, have I ever came off like that?
Speaker 1: But there have.
Speaker 11: Been other people who have also have never came off
Speaker 11: to me like that, And now it's like like it's happening,
Speaker 11: Like those things do happen.
Speaker 22: Because he just said he.
Speaker 11: Wanted an prior to that was about my mom.
Speaker 26: So but what did you what did you say about
Speaker 26: you? You was like my mom wanted to say.
Speaker 2: Hey, my mom sent him a voice note. She she
Speaker 2: loves the But I do think here's what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: then we should move on. I do think that.
Speaker 11: What I learned from this situation is I need to
Speaker 11: immediately follow up, like what's going on?
Speaker 2: Is news breaking?
Speaker 7: Basically, man boom, simple as that.
Speaker 1: I heard you say that the first season of Average
Speaker 1: Joe was difficult because you've never been to lead before.
Speaker 26: Yeah, I mean, being number one on the call sheet, man.
Speaker 9: Is it takes all your It takes everything.
Speaker 26: You can't DJ, you can't do crimedy, you can't be
Speaker 26: hanging out.
Speaker 9: You can't do nothing.
Speaker 26: You gotta you gotta be there, and you gotta not
Speaker 26: only perform, but you also have to make sure that
Speaker 26: everybody else is straight too, you know what I mean.
Speaker 26: And so it was very difficult being number one on
Speaker 26: the sheet because I was still trying to do everything
Speaker 26: else and I was coming in and sleep tired, and yeah,
Speaker 26: to make those adjustments, it was something else.
Speaker 1: So it's being the star more responsibility than privilege.
Speaker 26: Yeah, absolutely, there is way more responsibility because you ain't
Speaker 26: just dealing with your problems, You're dealing with everybody's problems.
Speaker 9: You want to make sure everybody's cool. You want to
Speaker 9: make sure your.
Speaker 26: Cast is straight and that they, you know, are on
Speaker 26: all cylinders when they performing or whatever.
Speaker 9: You know, so you do what you can or whatever.
Speaker 26: And this this season of Average Joe, I was able
Speaker 26: to I was blessed to be executive producer on this.
Speaker 26: So now I'm even I can I can help out
Speaker 26: even more with people and whatever issues they have, you know,
Speaker 26: on the show when we was when we were shooting at.
Speaker 1: That's even responsibility. Now you got ownership of what the
Speaker 1: show actually beheld.
Speaker 9: Yeah, exactly, exactly.
Speaker 26: So yeah, it's just it's just making sure if everybody comfortable,
Speaker 26: then we're gonna get the best results, you know.
Speaker 1: What I mean, it's carrying the whole show less fun
Speaker 1: because you you the guy that will come in, steal
Speaker 1: some scenes and be out.
Speaker 26: Like, yeah, that's how That's how I always did everything.
Speaker 9: But yeah, now, but.
Speaker 26: The but the beauty about the Average Joe is that
Speaker 26: it don't fall on me like that. You know, I
Speaker 26: got a wonderful cast, uh, Malcolm Barrett, it's funny as hell.
Speaker 26: I'm I'm Michael Trucco and Cynthia McKay Williams, the all
Speaker 26: phenomenal actors, and you know, all of that falls on them.
Speaker 9: I remember Tom.
Speaker 26: Hanks saying this one time, and I added into my life.
Speaker 26: He was like, I just surround my he said, I'm
Speaker 26: surround myself around amazing people and it make it look
Speaker 26: like I'm amazing. So that was basically what the you know,
Speaker 26: what the formula was, you know, the grab these people
Speaker 26: and be amazing and hopefully just hang in there with
Speaker 26: them or whatever. So yeah, so and and I appreciate
Speaker 26: everybody watching watching the show too.
Speaker 1: Man, what was the decision you made on average Joe
Speaker 1: that that that that you was an actor wouldn't have
Speaker 1: made maybe you know, ten years ago.
Speaker 26: Learning that my problems people watching the show. Don't know
Speaker 26: about my problems, you know what I mean? That role
Speaker 26: is your role when that camera's on. Don't nobody care
Speaker 26: nothing else you got going on?
Speaker 9: And the first.
Speaker 26: Season I thought that, you know, I got fired the
Speaker 26: first season the first the first day, first day on
Speaker 26: the set, what but not showing up on time? Yeah,
Speaker 26: I went to the wrong place. They gave me a
Speaker 26: rental car, and I'm like, if you wanted me there,
Speaker 26: go out of car service, so you shouldn't be a
Speaker 26: blaming me. So they was like they was getting to
Speaker 26: know me, and they was like, we don't know if
Speaker 26: he gonna do.
Speaker 9: This all the time. Is he on drugs, on alcoholics?
Speaker 7: Let's just nip this in the.
Speaker 9: Bud right now?
Speaker 2: Were you?
Speaker 9: I was like, I'll be like a hour late, but
Speaker 9: I didn't know why I was going. I went.
Speaker 26: I went to the to this other place rather than
Speaker 26: where they was having the table reread.
Speaker 9: And I was like across town.
Speaker 26: So it took like another hour to get there, and
Speaker 26: they and they had like the network on zoom and
Speaker 26: there was a whole bunch of it. So it was crazy.
Speaker 26: But I thought I was going to the studio. I
Speaker 26: didn't know I was going to some hotel that that
Speaker 26: they had, and so you know, they was just like, yeah, nah,
Speaker 26: I think we should replace some or whatever. So I was
Speaker 26: angry the whole first five episodes average Joe, Like, I was.
Speaker 1: Like, how'd you get it back? They actually know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They actually fired you and then got back.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 26: So my people talk to they people, and they was like, yo,
Speaker 26: everybody relaxed, let's talk. They was like, he know the lawns,
Speaker 26: you know everything, y'all might as well just use him.
Speaker 9: He's not like that.
Speaker 26: There was like we'll give him one more chance and
Speaker 26: all this, and I was like, all right, So now
Speaker 26: I'm now I got an attitude because I'm like, how
Speaker 26: dare you get mad at me for not being here?
Speaker 9: And now you tell me I got one more chance.
Speaker 26: So every day on set, Dog, I would do my
Speaker 26: scene and I would sit down and I speak to nobody,
Speaker 26: just chilling, arms folded, like not worried about nobody's nothing,
Speaker 26: you know what I mean. And then around that fifth
Speaker 26: episode that's when I got that information, which is, you know,
Speaker 26: they don't care what you how you feel.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, You're doing your job.
Speaker 26: That's all they want to do your job with that camera,
Speaker 26: and people watching this don't care.
Speaker 9: And you you're looking crazy right now.
Speaker 26: So like, yo, like, buckle down, stop being emotional and
Speaker 26: get to work.
Speaker 7: So how do you get over? How do you decide?
Speaker 9: Let me stop playing?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 9: I did just that.
Speaker 26: I just was like, man, I just sat back and
Speaker 26: was like, let me focus on this. Me being angry,
Speaker 26: I'm looking weird, I look like a princess, and let
Speaker 26: me just chill focus on this. And I did, and
Speaker 26: and and and the rest of the season became what
Speaker 26: it was. And then this season we just in the pocket,
Speaker 26: we zoning out. Everybody comfortable. I'm not dealing with a
Speaker 26: whole bunch of this. That and the third I'm worried
Speaker 26: about getting fired. And man, we just are cylinders on
Speaker 26: this season and.

Speaker 11: Actor Michael Wright, who played Eddie King Junior or Eddie
Speaker 11: Kane Junior and the Five Heartbeats movie passed away over
Speaker 11: the weekend. Well he was seventy years old. Well we
Speaker 11: found out because his family released the information over the weekend.
Speaker 11: But he had actually passed away in La last Wednesday.
Speaker 11: According to his family, he suffered heart failure coupled with
Speaker 11: complications of a rare degenerative disease. He's called Mark I'm
Speaker 11: not going to get this right March of five via
Speaker 11: bignam Me.
Speaker 7: It's a what that is?
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's it's a very rare disease that deals with
Speaker 11: something with the brain and like things not forming well
Speaker 11: in the brain.
Speaker 2: It stems from other issues.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know, but but yeah, yeah, but he
Speaker 11: passed away over he passed away his family let us
Speaker 11: know that. Over the weekend, so people you know, were
Speaker 11: pouring out tributes to him, and I saw a lot
Speaker 11: of people reposting, you know, certain scenes from Five Heartbeats
Speaker 11: over the weekend. I saw Robert Townsend also posts about
Speaker 11: how great of a you know person in the friend
Speaker 11: he was as well to rest in peace.
Speaker 8: And I actually got to work with him when I
Speaker 8: did the sitcom Rail He actually played Roll would always

Speaker 8: you know what I mean, And so I got to
Speaker 8: work with him and he drops some.
Speaker 5: Really really great jewels. Love love, love, love love him.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you something else it was.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was until we interviewed Robert Townsend
Speaker 1: years agoing to Breakfast Club that I realized the Five
Speaker 1: Heartbeats wasn't even a real group a.
Speaker 2: Lot of people.
Speaker 11: I thought that they were real until I've said, I
Speaker 11: saw him in interviews saying that they weren't. I thought
Speaker 11: that I was watching a documentary about a group, like
Speaker 11: how they made documentary, but you know, they made the
Speaker 11: New biopic Okay, yeah, like the New Audition movie. Like
Speaker 11: I thought it was like that until I saw them
Speaker 11: do interviews, and I was.
Speaker 8: Like, wait, this wasn't even a real group. Yeah, because
Speaker 8: I was singing there songs and the other thing I
Speaker 8: remember watching around the house like five Bees better than
Speaker 8: the Temptations, and my mother like, shut up because they're
Speaker 8: not even real you know what I mean? Didn't know that.
Speaker 8: But sugar Hill was also one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, that's a black horror movie too, because it
Speaker 8: was so sad. But I really really enjoyed him in
Speaker 8: that role. Him and Wesley snaps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, rest in peace.
Speaker 11: Yes, all right, Well we're gonna go to the West
Speaker 11: coast to stay on the West coast a bit because
Speaker 11: the Game. He has been celebrating the documentary three album
Speaker 11: that we talked a little bit about.
Speaker 1: On Friday, right album. One thing about that guy, the Game,
Speaker 1: He can make some good ass music.
Speaker 2: You're giving it ten out of ten? You ready to review?
Speaker 17: What?

Speaker 1: That's such a reflection in the world we live.
Speaker 11: You are a commentator who reviews everything and talks about everything.
Speaker 2: People want to hear your extreme.
Speaker 11: Because I know if anybody really listened to the album,
Speaker 11: you really listen.
Speaker 7: This is a good album, all right.
Speaker 11: Well, the documentary Documentary three, according to a few hip
Speaker 11: hop sites that I saw over the weekend, earned one
Speaker 11: point six one million streams and it's opening day on Spotify.
Speaker 11: I got that from a hip hop all day, so it's.
Speaker 2: Doing well all day, all day.
Speaker 11: But at the game, he over the weekend had a
Speaker 11: release party.
Speaker 2: He also give his daughter and made back for her birthday.
Speaker 11: But he had a release party for the documentary three,
Speaker 11: and he made some comments about some things that are
Speaker 11: going viral. We're going to talk about it a bit,
Speaker 11: so let's take a listen to the game talking about
Speaker 11: Kendrick in Black Sam, I'll put a knick.
Speaker 17: In places that I wanted to be in that I
Speaker 17: wish to me And I didn't rest with the top dog.
Speaker 14: Wanted to give me half a TV to Wall Street.
Speaker 14: This little boy and want to send the name. He
Speaker 14: didn't drive, bigger than bigger than the other thing, and.
Speaker 5: Ahead, so I got in love with him.
Speaker 14: When this Drake came in the game, he adapted to
Speaker 14: the home play. We got close. Drake is home. My
Speaker 14: album's way back. I'm not Lina type. I don't fly
Speaker 14: fly with my friends.
Speaker 25: I called fans with my own homies to take this
Speaker 25: on too, but I can't consider they get in touch
Speaker 25: with Black Sam and hollering him I don't understand me.
Speaker 20: I'll put Kiddrinck on his first Miss Teddy, I show
Speaker 20: I can't drinking that, but mother, but I can't get.
Speaker 19: On the phone call.
Speaker 2: There ain't no hope.
Speaker 20: I'm gonna just let you know they're they're gonna steady
Speaker 20: so you can get it from my post.
Speaker 1: Top Dog.
Speaker 20: I can call on the phone and everybody knows, and
Speaker 20: I ain't hold my tongue for.
Speaker 1: Nobody say what I'm wanna say?
Speaker 7: What did I just hear?
Speaker 8: So he got a problem with h Black Sam, Kendrick
Speaker 8: and tap Dog Law now talk from t.
Speaker 5: He was saying the top Dog and I know top.
Speaker 11: Dog the game was saying that he can get top
Speaker 11: Dog on the phone, and that dates back for some time.
Speaker 11: But he's saying that like if he picks up the
Speaker 11: phone and calls Black Sam, the brother of Nipsey Hustle
Speaker 11: Black saying on in to the phone, and he can't
Speaker 11: call Kendrick Lamar on the phone because you know when
Speaker 11: this project dropped. A lot of people were pointing to
Speaker 11: the fact that there were a couple of songs on
Speaker 11: there where he is standing up for Drake essentially, and
Speaker 11: people feel like he should be drawing a line in
Speaker 11: the sand because the whole West Coast and Kendrick Lamar. Yeah,
Speaker 11: but you know, there's been I don't know, there's been
Speaker 11: conversation around like what him and Kendrick Lamar's relationship is
Speaker 11: or is not for some time.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people point to that the
Speaker 2: song that.
Speaker 11: Drake and the Game dropped one hundred yes, and say
Speaker 11: that that was like the beginning of Kendrick Lamar distancing
Speaker 11: himself from the game as West Coast artists, because Drake
Speaker 11: threw some shots at Kendrick Lamar on that song and
Speaker 11: they were in comptent symbol video.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drake was in the video.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so he's talking about like, you know, people saying
Speaker 11: I'm throwing shots, So I got something to say, but
Speaker 11: I'm here speaking for myself. He was essentially, I think,
Speaker 11: trying to clear it up and say where things are.
Speaker 11: But it picked up as if like, Okay, well you
Speaker 11: guys just on fool with each other.
Speaker 1: Remember we were having that conversation about the game and
Speaker 1: where the game stands and music, and all of us were.
Speaker 7: Saying, how great game raps.
Speaker 1: Yes, and that's true, we know game raps ass off
Speaker 1: from no game makes great music. But then it's always
Speaker 1: stuff like this.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that distracts from the actual art, like because he
Speaker 6: didn't have to tell us what speak And then then
Speaker 6: from a conversation.
Speaker 2: Answer the text from album, you know what they did
Speaker 2: shout out to us.
Speaker 11: I think it was Blair from TMZ did an interview
Speaker 11: with Game outside of the the documentary release party and
Speaker 11: they asked him about where you throwing shots at Kendrick
Speaker 11: and he said, Yo, just listen to the album. If
Speaker 11: you listen to the full album, you'll know where I
Speaker 11: stand with everything. I thought that was such a great response,
Speaker 11: but then inside of the party this, yeah.
Speaker 7: We're talking about everything but the music, right, it has a.
Speaker 5: Few drinks and a few drinks. That's up, yo.
Speaker 11: That video of the game at the versus where he's
Speaker 11: doing like the arm thing, that's the latest for the Yeah.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yes, when we come back, Donkey of to Day and
Speaker 1: I need enis cant freedom to come to the front
Speaker 1: of the congregation.
Speaker 7: We like to have a world with him. Police.
Speaker 1: It's the breakfast club. It's time for Donkey of the Day.
Speaker 7: There's a bunch of donkeys here.
Speaker 1: Donkey of the day.
Speaker 2: It really caught me off.
Speaker 1: Guards. We live a life where we might are tongue
Speaker 1: based off who we may have fined.
Speaker 7: You never would say any time you are a donkey.
Speaker 2: That is why Charlamagne is here.
Speaker 7: Some donkey today is just saw themselves on the breakfast club. Okay, Charlawage,
Speaker 7: we can give a Donkey of the day too today.
Speaker 1: Well, Donkey of Today for Monday, August twenty fourth goes
Speaker 1: to the former NBA player Enis Cantor Freedom.
Speaker 7: Oh what a sucker he is?
Speaker 1: Okay, if you haven't heard, yesterday, Enis cant Freedom got
Speaker 1: escorted out of the Chicago in the Navieva game after
Speaker 1: getting into a verbal confrontation with Chicago sky guard Natasha
Speaker 1: Cloud dropping a clue bonds Natasha Cloud. If you haven't heard,
Speaker 1: Inis recently announced that he identifies as a woman and
Speaker 1: intended to enter the twenty twenty seven w NBA draft.
Speaker 10: Can we hear that after careful concenteration and reviewing the
Speaker 10: current eligibility guidelines I am officially declaring myself a WNBA prospect.
Speaker 10: If simply declaring who you are is all that's required,
Speaker 10: then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in
Speaker 10: the WNBA. My Tim and I have carefully examined the
Speaker 10: WNBA's eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self identification and inclusion.
Speaker 10: Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially
Speaker 10: declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in May
Speaker 10: twenty seven. I am definitely not here to mock, make
Speaker 10: fun of, or to suspect any community or personal choices.
Speaker 10: I am simply asking that the current rules be applied
Speaker 10: equally to everyone, the rules that represent the very values
Speaker 10: many the WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for. Mike,
Speaker 10: Tim and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are
Speaker 10: applied equally, consistently and redot exception, and I look forward
Speaker 10: to the WNBA honoring its stated principles.
Speaker 1: So yesterday, he was sitting courtside at the game, trolling okay,
Speaker 1: the women playing, mocking the women playing, wearing a shirt
Speaker 1: that said women noun adult human female. Natasha Cloud apparently
Speaker 1: saw the shirt hatch words for and it's hatched words
Speaker 1: back and during the exchange, and It's got up and
Speaker 1: briefly stepped onto the court before security intervened and eventually
Speaker 1: escorted him out of the building. Do we have some
Speaker 1: audio from net?
Speaker 19: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Go to see Ann for report please.
Speaker 27: NBA center Ennis Kantor Freedom was ejected from a WNBA
Speaker 27: game between the Indiana Fever and the Chicago Sky after
Speaker 27: a confrontation with a player. Freedom was on the sidelines
Speaker 27: wearing a shirt that said quote woman noun adult human.
Speaker 5: Female.
Speaker 27: Skyguard Natasha Cloud confronted Freedom late into the third quarter,
Speaker 27: and he was then escorted from the arena. Freedom had
Speaker 27: a conversation with a group of police officers before leaving
Speaker 27: the stadium. Freedom had previously declared himself eligible for the
Speaker 27: WNBA this month, saying he identifies as a woman in
Speaker 27: a criticism of WNBA's eligibility criteria.
Speaker 1: Now, before anybody starts screaming about politics or transgender rights,
Speaker 1: women's rights, whatever side of the coach war, you woke
Speaker 1: up ready to fight for on this Monday morning, understand something.
Speaker 1: I'm not giving inn his can to Freedom donkey of
Speaker 1: today because he believes biological males shouldn't compete against biological females.
Speaker 7: In women's sports. I agree with him on that.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's not even a debate for me, and I
Speaker 1: just think it's pointless to argue when you know it's
Speaker 1: only being used as a distraction because the midterms are
Speaker 1: right around the corner and Republicans can't win on policies,
Speaker 1: so they would rather drag people into another stupid culture
Speaker 1: war to debate so they can claim to be the
Speaker 1: Party of common sense and Dems the party of people
Speaker 1: who don't know if men can have.
Speaker 7: Babies or matter.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm giving in his donkey today because this guy
Speaker 1: I has somehow decided that the best way to protect
Speaker 1: women's basketball is to disrupt women's basketball.
Speaker 7: Okay, you Inns.
Speaker 1: Have become what you claim to hate, because I.
Speaker 7: Haven't seen anyone threaten women's basketball more than you.
Speaker 1: Okay, do you think those women felt safe with your
Speaker 1: big sixteen ass out there trolling them and then had
Speaker 1: the nerve to stand up and act like you was
Speaker 1: about to step to one of them. Make that make
Speaker 1: sense to me? Okay, See, isn't just expressing an opinion anymore.
Speaker 1: This man declared himself eligible for the twenty twenty seven
Speaker 1: WNBA draft, saying he identifies as a woman as part
Speaker 1: of his protests against the league's transgender eligibility rules. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in the WNBA, there are currently no immediate eligibility matters
Speaker 1: affecting their league. Okay. Basically, ain't no transgender women trying
Speaker 1: to take your job in the WNBA right now? That
Speaker 1: is not happening, Okay. No transgenders are out here, like,
Speaker 1: let me suit up. So people like Innis are protesting
Speaker 1: are hypothetical. There are no biological males playing in the
Speaker 1: WNBA that we know, Okay, there are no biological males
Speaker 1: trying to play in the WNBA except for you. So therefore,
Speaker 1: in if you are actually the problem, but what you're
Speaker 1: protesting is a hypothetical innes you have called nine to
Speaker 1: one one screaming about a five alarm fire that isn't happening, okay,
Speaker 1: And that's what is fake. Doing anything for attention, activism
Speaker 1: turns into something else because there's a difference between raising
Speaker 1: awareness about something you believe could become a problem and
Speaker 1: manufacturing a spectacle around a hypothetical problem. Because the spectacle
Speaker 1: gets you attention, okay, and that's all you are doing
Speaker 1: is performance art, and I need you to get off
Speaker 1: the stage because your show sucks. All right, First you
Speaker 1: declare yourself a woman, Then you declare for the WNBA draft.
Speaker 1: Then you start talking about recruiting other men to declare
Speaker 1: for the WNBA draft. Then you show up court side
Speaker 1: at a WNBA game wearing a shirt you know is
Speaker 1: going to provoke a reaction. Then you get into an
Speaker 1: argument with an actual WNBA player during the game, take
Speaker 1: a step towards the court like you were going to
Speaker 1: do something to those ladies, and then you get escorted out.
Speaker 1: There should be a lifetime band of all WNBA games
Speaker 1: issues today by Kathy Engelbert for Ennis, but she won't
Speaker 1: because she doesn't do many things that make sense. Oh, okay,
Speaker 1: she's actually a trans commissioner because she identifies as a commissioner,
Speaker 1: but clearly that's not what she was born to do.
Speaker 1: Then Ennis has the nerve to say he got kicked
Speaker 1: out for supporting women. No, sir, you didn't get removed
Speaker 1: simply because you believe something. You got kicked out for
Speaker 1: intentionally disrupting a woman's basketball game. They didn't kick you
Speaker 1: out for your beliefs. It kicked you out after your
Speaker 1: protests turned into a confrontation.
Speaker 7: Those are not the same things, and it's scant of
Speaker 7: freedom of all.
Speaker 1: People should understand that because freedom of speech doesn't mean
Speaker 1: freedom from consequences.
Speaker 7: I tell you that all the time.
Speaker 1: Freedom means you're allowed to wear the shirt, but freedom
Speaker 1: also means Nataja Cloude is allowed to tell you exactly
Speaker 1: what she thinks about the shirt. Freedom means the WNBA
Speaker 1: is allowed to disagree with you, and freedom means Arena
Speaker 1: security can tell you're six foot ten hass sir, we're
Speaker 1: gonna need you to leave because you don't know how
Speaker 1: to freaking act. All right, Freedom doesn't mean everybody have
Speaker 1: to tolerate whatever you decide to do. And here's the
Speaker 1: part that really bothers me. In his Canta freedom has
Speaker 1: actually demonstrated real courage in his life. Okay, this is
Speaker 1: a man who's spoken publicly against authoritarian governments. He's criticized
Speaker 1: the Turkish president, he's spoken about human rights abuses, he's
Speaker 1: dealt with consequences involving his ability to travel, okay, and
Speaker 1: his relationship with his home country. So Innis knows what
Speaker 1: actual political repression looks like, which means he should damn
Speaker 1: sure know the difference between government persecution and arena security.
Speaker 1: All Right, everything that happens to you, okay, because everything
Speaker 1: that happens to you often happens beca. Doesn't this happen
Speaker 1: because somebody doesn't like you? Okay, it doesn't. It happens
Speaker 1: because what you're doing is just wrong, all right? And
Speaker 1: sometimes you're just getting put out because your so called
Speaker 1: activism becomes more about you than the people you're supposedly
Speaker 1: advocating for. All Right, you've lost the plot, all right.
Speaker 1: He says he's doing all of this because he wants
Speaker 1: to protect women. Yeah, so you go into a space
Speaker 1: built around women, a league played by women, a workplace
Speaker 1: where women are doing their jobs, and you create a
Speaker 1: situation where one of the women playing basketball ends up
Speaker 1: arguing with you. And now the headline coming out of
Speaker 1: the game isn't about the women's basketball game, It's about.
Speaker 7: You in this Canta freedom. Okay?
Speaker 1: How did protecting women become making yourself the main character
Speaker 1: in women's spaces?
Speaker 7: That's what I don't understand, all right.
Speaker 1: You don't protect women's spaces by walking into women's spaces
Speaker 1: and making the whole damn space about you. Okay, please
Speaker 1: give in this canta freedom the biggest y hull. If
Speaker 1: you have to manufacture the crisis you're warning everybody about.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: If your activism requires you to manufacture the vary crisis
Speaker 1: you claim to be fighting against, then you're not raising
Speaker 1: awareness to a problem. You actually are the problem.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's stupid, He's the problem.
Speaker 7: Now what y'all want to talk about? Y'all was talking
Speaker 7: abo something earlier.
Speaker 8: Parents, parents and whether or not you are responsible or
Speaker 8: obligated you know, to take care of them after having
Speaker 8: a guess a tumultuous upbringing because of them or what
Speaker 8: you know, dysfunction and toxicity in the household.
Speaker 1: And where did this come from?
Speaker 10: It?
Speaker 1: It was something front page news, right, Lauren?
Speaker 7: Where you get this story from?
Speaker 1: Lauren?
Speaker 11: I've just seen the conversation online. I think I saw
Speaker 11: the Jazmine brand post it. Actually, yeah, but.
Speaker 2: I feel like me MEI do we. I feel like
Speaker 2: somebody talked about something to day that kind of went
Speaker 2: into the I don't.
Speaker 1: Know and say it again, it's the are you obligated
Speaker 1: to take care of your parents?
Speaker 19: What?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Like just in general, whether after you had a bad upbringing?
Speaker 8: Reason for Yeah, if they're the reason for you know,
Speaker 8: the toxic environment or the toxic traits that you have abuse.
Speaker 5: Mental abuse, emotional abuse, physical abuse, whatever.
Speaker 8: Because they're your parents, are you still obligated to take
Speaker 8: care of them when they can't do for themselves?
Speaker 1: Okay, so that's the question. One hundred and five A
Speaker 1: five one oh five to one. Are you obligated to
Speaker 1: take care of your parents if your upbringing wasn't the.
Speaker 5: Best because of them? Yes?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's the World's most dangerous Want to show the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club?
Speaker 7: Call us right.
Speaker 26: Now, it's topic time called eight hundred five A five
Speaker 26: one oh five one to join into the discussion.
Speaker 1: With the Breakfast Club. Yes, it's the World's most Dangerous.
Speaker 1: Morning to show the Breakfast Club. Dj NV just hilarious,
Speaker 1: Charlamagne to God and Envy is on vacation this week.
Speaker 1: Ll coolbas here Lauren Larssa and Lauren's talking about being
Speaker 1: lonely this morning.
Speaker 2: No, I'm not talking about paying lone this morning.
Speaker 5: She was talking about we were talking about parents. Yeah,
Speaker 5: we were.
Speaker 11: We were talking about taking responsibility for your parents and
Speaker 11: parents and or not.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just because you were talking about you know,
Speaker 1: whenever you talk about your father, And I don't like
Speaker 1: to talk about your father no more because I know
Speaker 1: he doesn't like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he don't like the jokes.
Speaker 7: I don't think that you should be talking about him
Speaker 7: like that anymore.
Speaker 11: I think I can speak to my experience, and I
Speaker 11: think I'm as respectful as I can be.
Speaker 7: I'm very respectful reason being lonely because I know whenever
Speaker 7: you talking about.
Speaker 11: I wasn't my mother and my grandmother gay gay had
Speaker 11: I had an amazing childhood.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know that dad was supposed to be there.
Speaker 7: Got you see what I'm saying?
Speaker 5: Oh my god?
Speaker 2: Until sorry, Jess, go ahead.
Speaker 1: But the topic is, are you obligated to take care
Speaker 1: of your parents as they get older if your upbringing
Speaker 1: wasn't the best? And Lauren, you specifically earlier said.
Speaker 11: Abuse, Yes, but people deemed different things as abuse, right,
Speaker 11: Like there is mental abuse, which could be you know,
Speaker 11: whether it's like words or different actions or different things
Speaker 11: that you deem have like messed up your mental well being,
Speaker 11: physical abuse, or just like a toxic, unstable or unconsistent.
Speaker 11: I realized as I got older that, like people, not
Speaker 11: being consistent in your life could also have an effect
Speaker 11: on you as well too. Like I really put a
Speaker 11: lot of things to the back burner with my relationship
Speaker 11: with my dad because I just was like, you know,
Speaker 11: he human, like things happen. But when I got around
Speaker 11: people who are very consistent as fathers, I'm like, oh.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, you don't know what you literally don't know
Speaker 11: because even having a stepdad is like it's different because
Speaker 11: it's not my dad.
Speaker 1: But you said you would take care of your father
Speaker 1: if it.
Speaker 2: Was down to like he had nobody else.
Speaker 11: I would, but that's just because my heart wouldn't allow
Speaker 11: me to know that, like this person is out there
Speaker 11: that don't have nobody, and even though he wasn't perfect,
Speaker 11: I mean I probably wouldn't do it as much as
Speaker 11: I do for my mom and my grandma, but I
Speaker 11: would try and at least make sure that, like I
Speaker 11: could sleep at night knowing like, well I tried, Like,
Speaker 11: and that has nothing to do with him being your father.
Speaker 2: You would just do that for a random person. No,
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do it for a random person.
Speaker 11: I think it does have a lot to do with
Speaker 11: him being my father, but I think that that was
Speaker 11: I think it's a pro and a coon like my
Speaker 11: grandmother always has to me, you only get one mother,
Speaker 11: you only get one father, And I think that it
Speaker 11: is allowed myself, Like I've subjected myself to a lot
Speaker 11: of like, if I'm being unwrit I said, right, I've
Speaker 11: subjected myself to a lot of like stuff that I
Speaker 11: feel like I shouldn't have had to just in conversation
Speaker 11: with my dad, And he probably feels like vice versa
Speaker 11: because we've both been angry with each other. But it's
Speaker 11: because it's my dad. I'm always willing to like try,
Speaker 11: you know.
Speaker 1: And that's why this conversation is. It's not a one
Speaker 1: size fits all conversation because everybody's experiences with their parents
Speaker 1: are different.
Speaker 7: There's no rule that says.
Speaker 1: You have to take care of a person because they
Speaker 1: were your parent. I know the Bible is honor thy
Speaker 1: father and thy mother, but what if that father and
Speaker 1: thy mother didn't honor you for whatever reason growing up?
Speaker 7: So I don't know.
Speaker 8: Because they say do not provoke the child for the parents,
Speaker 8: I think it's something like you don't provoke the child, okay,
Speaker 8: quoting Oh listen, I grew up one the Bibles. I
Speaker 8: wasn't Jehovah's witness nothing like that. Like I was very
Speaker 8: much in the church.
Speaker 7: You can't even quote the scripture, you know, the real scripture.
Speaker 2: Don't provoke their parents all that.
Speaker 1: Good morning.
Speaker 7: Who's this?
Speaker 1: Hey, Monica?
Speaker 7: How are you?
Speaker 20: I wasn't good Chaloman?
Speaker 1: What's happening? We haven't a who? Yes, let's talk about
Speaker 1: the topic this morning.
Speaker 19: The topic, all.
Speaker 20: Right, So short answer, right, it's a yes for me
Speaker 20: because of my story. I'm forty three years old, originally
Speaker 20: from Pan Antonio, Texas. I live in Sandville now due
Speaker 20: to the military. But my parents were junior high school
Speaker 20: sweethearts and they had their first challenge at seventeen, still
Speaker 20: in high school. It was my older sister, and then
Speaker 20: they had eight ten years later. But the marriage was
Speaker 20: like crazy the whole time.
Speaker 19: Right.
Speaker 20: My dad was an alcoholic a the president. He wouldn't
Speaker 20: get help, but you know, he worked hard, and my
Speaker 20: mom stopped by him and so she passed away. But
Speaker 20: they ended up divorcing when I was sixteen, and my
Speaker 20: dad was like, uh, he was a he wasn't like
Speaker 20: a president.
Speaker 19: Dad.
Speaker 20: He was still stand office and you know, he was around,
Speaker 20: but he really wasn't like hands along with his daughters
Speaker 20: and what I mean by that is like, see my
Speaker 20: parents divorce when I was sixteen, and when I graduated
Speaker 20: from high school, he had already remarried and he showed
Speaker 20: up and like I saw him for like a slit second.
Speaker 18: And then he was like gone.
Speaker 20: And then when I joined the military, I had bought
Speaker 20: him a ticket to come out to like my first
Speaker 20: major promotion, and he didn't show up, Like I come
Speaker 20: on his wife and she was like baby, he didn't
Speaker 20: get on the plane. And so right then I had
Speaker 20: wanted start like write him off.
Speaker 16: Me and my sister.
Speaker 20: We always send him cards for Father's Day even though
Speaker 20: he wasn't present, but he like he just didn't give
Speaker 20: us what we needed. And then I asked my pastor.
Speaker 20: I was like, hey, like what are we supposed to do?
Speaker 20: And he was like, just honor your father and mother
Speaker 20: like in a way that we were okay with, and
Speaker 20: that would be like pleasing to guy. So I kind
Speaker 20: of checked that, but I just talked to him, and
Speaker 20: like he got really really sick and he had me
Speaker 20: lifted as an emergency point of contact. Mind you, I
Speaker 20: hadn't talked to this man in like five years.
Speaker 17: Wow.
Speaker 20: And they called me. They called me and like it
Speaker 20: was like, without a question, I went and got him
Speaker 20: but a flight. I like tacked up his suitcase and
Speaker 20: I took him home with me. I didn't know what
Speaker 20: I was gonna do with him, but I took him
Speaker 20: and I kept him for three and a half years,
Speaker 20: and then I had the PCs and then he had
Speaker 20: stage four cancer. We learned he had stage four cancer.
Speaker 20: My sister took over and she kept him the last
Speaker 20: three years until he died in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, it just sounds like, you know, you
Speaker 1: you've treated him better than he ever treated you.
Speaker 5: Infe I can say that.
Speaker 20: And it was kind of crazy because because my kids
Speaker 20: got to see him. I have three boys, and they
Speaker 20: got to see him like getting his last agent. You know,
Speaker 20: they were a little scary because he was still trying
Speaker 20: to drink, but after they got to know him.
Speaker 11: See, that's the thing I think about too all the time,
Speaker 11: is like with when I have kids, because I know,
Speaker 11: even with Kelly Rowland, she talked about how like reconnecting
Speaker 11: with her father after she had her son was like
Speaker 11: important to her.
Speaker 2: I always wondered to like, am I gonna.
Speaker 11: Wanna wish I had done things differently with my dad
Speaker 11: once I have kids, and like, if something were to
Speaker 11: happen to him, how do I talk to my kids
Speaker 11: about what I did or did not do like that
Speaker 11: whole thing, Like that's a whole other.
Speaker 5: Level of it.
Speaker 8: Absolutely, But that's all that's up to your discretion, Like
Speaker 8: if you really want that's see, that's all I do,
Speaker 8: is you see how to call it? Like her father
Speaker 8: was not there. He was nonchalant, never really too interactive
Speaker 8: with his kids. He wasn't engaging at all. But she
Speaker 8: came running as soon as he still listed her one
Speaker 8: of his kids we ain't even have a good relationship
Speaker 8: with as one of his emergency contacts, and she came
Speaker 8: running because she's still a part of her She didn't
Speaker 8: say this, but a part of her still longed for
Speaker 8: that that that connection with her father, and he never
Speaker 8: gave her that.
Speaker 1: She's on the fr Oh, now, I agree what you
Speaker 1: just said is the key. It's up to you, Like
Speaker 1: regardless of how your parents treated you, good are bad,
Speaker 1: it's up to you as as an adult to make
Speaker 1: the decision on whether or not you want to show
Speaker 1: up for them. That's why I said It's not a
Speaker 1: one size fits all conversation, but one hundred and five
Speaker 1: eight five one oh five to one call us right now,
Speaker 1: are you obligated to take care of your parents when
Speaker 1: they get older if they didn't treat you right growing up?
Speaker 1: We'll discuss it's the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 7: It's topic.
Speaker 24: Times called eight hundred five five one to join into
Speaker 24: the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Talk about it. Yes, it's the world's most dangerous. Want
Speaker 1: to show the Breakfast Club? Dj NB just hilarious. Charlamagne
Speaker 1: the God NVA is on vacation right now. Laura Larosa's
Speaker 1: head o llll kool Bay and we're having a discussion.
Speaker 1: The topic is, are you obligated to take care of
Speaker 1: your parents even if your upbringing as a child wasn't
Speaker 1: wasn't the best.
Speaker 7: Let's go to the phones. Good morning, Who's this? Why
Speaker 7: are you losing it?
Speaker 18: I believe I made it to the show Oh my god.
Speaker 5: Topic. I was like, oh my god.
Speaker 18: I have emotion about that too because it hits. It
Speaker 18: resonates with me so much. But I have been listening
Speaker 18: to Brothers Club since I came back from deployment in Japan,
Speaker 18: and I have always tried to get on this show.
Speaker 18: I lived in Virginia. I'm now in Jacksonville, Florida, from Georgia.
Speaker 18: I can't believe I'm on here.
Speaker 4: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: We appreciate your listenership. Let's talk about the topic. Are
Speaker 1: you obligated to take care of your parents even if
Speaker 1: you are bringing with her the best?
Speaker 18: I agree, I think you should, but it's at a
Speaker 18: certain level. And so what I mean by that is
Speaker 18: I was telling them that my grandmother raised me because
Speaker 18: my mom had me when she was sixteen. My mom
Speaker 18: was very abusive and she had two younger children as well.
Speaker 18: So I have two younger siblings, right, and so I
Speaker 18: always had to care for them, take care of them
Speaker 18: if they messed up. I was that child that got
Speaker 18: the worst, you know, punishment for it.
Speaker 17: Right.
Speaker 18: My mom would leave us go clubbing at night, and
Speaker 18: I think I was probably about six or eight. My
Speaker 18: brother and sister are four or five years younger than me,
Speaker 18: and I had to watch them. So my grandmother just
Speaker 18: whenever my mom was abusive, she would pulled me out
Speaker 18: of the house. This was during a time where you know,
Speaker 18: nobody called child protecting services. They would just take you,
Speaker 18: right and my grandmother would just take me, and it
Speaker 18: would hurt me to take me away from my brother
Speaker 18: and sister because I knew I was protecting them as well. Right.
Speaker 18: But as I got older and I became a teenager,
Speaker 18: I started working, it got worse with my mom. But
Speaker 18: I would talk back, and that's when my grandmother stepped
Speaker 18: in and said, look, I don't care what your mom
Speaker 18: did to you. I don't care what has happened. She
Speaker 18: is still your mother, and you have to rest her.
Speaker 18: You still have to take care of her and be
Speaker 18: respectful because God doesn't like that.
Speaker 14: Right.
Speaker 18: And so even to this day, my kids are nineteen, fifteen,
Speaker 18: nine and eight, right, and I tell my mom all
Speaker 18: the time. She's living with that burdon of not being
Speaker 18: a great mom that I tell her all the time.
Speaker 18: I am a reflection of that, but not in a
Speaker 18: bad way. Like I use the bad experiences that I
Speaker 18: had with her to be a better mom, if that
Speaker 18: makes sense.
Speaker 1: Okay, now get what you're saying. You learned what not
Speaker 1: to do watching.
Speaker 18: Her exactly, watching her. Like with relationships with men, the
Speaker 18: type of men like my mom would bring in dudes
Speaker 18: that we're riding the bus and the dude riding the
Speaker 18: bus with us, I'm like, what why are we? Can
Speaker 18: we at least get a guy that got a car.
Speaker 5: You know, he was there protecting y'all on the bus though,
Speaker 5: you know what I mean.
Speaker 18: You know, but I'm just saying, and that just that
Speaker 18: just taught me to kind of level up. Also, the pain,
Speaker 18: the tears that I felt with my as a child,
Speaker 18: I just didn't want my kids to feel that, right,
Speaker 18: And so that's what I tell my mom all the time.
Speaker 18: I'm like, I'm not holding anything against you, And the
Speaker 18: reputation that you need to build right now is with
Speaker 18: your grandchildren, not with me. Like I've learned from those
Speaker 18: experiences and to this day, I'm going to take care
Speaker 18: of my mom because I just feel like karma God
Speaker 18: is going to continue to bless me with my kids
Speaker 18: if I do right by my mom.
Speaker 1: I always say that, you know, God doesn't judge you
Speaker 1: based off how people treat you. He judges you based
Speaker 1: off how people, yes, based off how you treat people.
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you're deciding that's what you want
Speaker 1: to do, respect to you, respect to you, absolutely, thank
Speaker 1: you for calling. Oh it's time for the ladies of law.
Speaker 2: I'm a home guard, a little bit of everything.
Speaker 7: She'd be having the latest.
Speaker 14: On the.
Speaker 9: Latest with Laura la Rose.

Speaker 11: into the latest with Lauren Rose. I'll be trying to
Speaker 11: be so positive in here, but man is some dark spirits.
Speaker 11: So a new casting announcement came out over the weekend,
Speaker 11: and we had talked about the Snoop Dogg movie because
Speaker 11: remember they cast it Snoop Dogg, and we talked about
Speaker 11: that casting as well.
Speaker 2: But his name is sorry, y'all hold on.
Speaker 11: By opening. His name is Jonathan Davis. I wanted to
Speaker 11: make sure I got his last name right. I didn't
Speaker 11: want to say the wrong leastsaon Jonathan Davis, best known
Speaker 11: for his role and Outer Banks Will Start as Will
Speaker 11: Start as Snoop Dogg and Snoop Dogg's movie about his life,
Speaker 11: which is to release August six, twenty twenty seven.
Speaker 2: But we now know that Myles.

Speaker 11: remember him because he's been in some of the fifties
Speaker 11: Stars presentations.
Speaker 5: Ma'am.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so people were I mean, we were discussed in
Speaker 11: the cast and how I feel like just off looks
Speaker 11: so far it's very actually and he can give doctor
Speaker 11: Dre and Jonathan Davis, right, that's who was playing snoop.
Speaker 8: Yes, I think you're gonna kill it. I think he
Speaker 8: is going to kill it. I know, I just didn't.
Speaker 8: I didn't know if I was. I was gonna call
Speaker 8: him Jonathan Johnson, not on my bed.
Speaker 11: But for some reason, when I say Jonathan, I always
Speaker 11: want to say Jonathan Majors.
Speaker 19: That's all.
Speaker 2: I let me get his last name right.
Speaker 1: But yes, yeah, yeah, I don't know if it's about
Speaker 1: the looks as much as it is about the performance.
Speaker 2: It is performance, But you do want to you know,
Speaker 2: like people always look to see you, do they?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: How much? How much does the look give?
Speaker 1: So yes, I mean I've only seen that work one
Speaker 1: time in a biopic. But to what no, no, no,
Speaker 1: Jamie when Jamie like Jamie really did look oh yes, oh.
Speaker 5: My god, and embodied him too.
Speaker 1: Like real big maybe Angela Bassett, I mean really look
Speaker 1: completely like the person, but.
Speaker 11: It makes you feel like you're watching the person. It's
Speaker 11: the it's the body movement and the way that you speak.
Speaker 11: A lot to it that you have to take on
Speaker 11: when you're you know, don't look tall.
Speaker 7: Is he a talllest new.
Speaker 11: I don't know how tall he is, but I mean,
Speaker 11: but you can do things in the film to make
Speaker 11: him yes, yes, Now, speaking of Doctor dre keeping it
Speaker 11: on the West Coast over the weekend as well, there
Speaker 11: was a lot of conversation about AI and Doctor Dre
Speaker 11: and Jimmy I Bean, they sat.
Speaker 2: Down for an interview.
Speaker 11: In this interview, they talked about AI being used in
Speaker 11: music and now this was like a big conversation because
Speaker 11: you know, Jimmy Ivan, Doctor Dre huge names of music.
Speaker 2: Doctor dres On is one of the best producers of
Speaker 2: all time.
Speaker 11: And he's saying that you know, AI isn't a threat
Speaker 11: and that people that see it as a threat are
Speaker 11: only the people that are having trouble creating using it. Now,
Speaker 11: Doctor Dre says he's had discussions with a few people.
Speaker 11: He says as a as early as a few days ago,
Speaker 11: prior to the interview, and he says that they were
Speaker 11: against AI and he was like, okay, well, you sound
Speaker 11: like the person who was against the drum machine when
Speaker 11: it first came out, or synthesizers. It's a new tool
Speaker 11: for creativity. Some people are afraid of learning new things.
Speaker 11: And he says that he's actually using AI technology in
Speaker 11: music as a tool to see what it can do
Speaker 11: with what he just did. And then they mentioned the
Speaker 11: fact that like Timberland has also talked spoke out about
Speaker 11: using AI as well too.
Speaker 8: But I was actually going to talk about that. I was,
Speaker 8: I mean asked to see that. I really would like
Speaker 8: to hear with Timberland, Swiss Beats Dre would all sit
Speaker 8: down and talk to each other about AI, like and
Speaker 8: how it has worked for them, and then what are
Speaker 8: the disadvantages.
Speaker 7: And also how are they using it? Yeah, what are
Speaker 7: they using it for? You know?
Speaker 1: I think sometimes we see those headlines like doctor Dre
Speaker 1: says he's okay with AI, we don't know what he's.
Speaker 7: Using it for.
Speaker 11: Yeah, but even when Timberland talked about it, he talked
Speaker 11: about using it as like a collaborator, but not as
Speaker 11: the creator like so and doctor d said, I want
Speaker 11: to see what it can do with what I've already done.
Speaker 1: So, like, I know some people who are in the
Speaker 1: animation game, and you know they are, they're amazing artists,
Speaker 1: and what they do is they will draw their art
Speaker 1: and then put it in the AI to make it
Speaker 1: easier to you know, create cartoons and things like that.
Speaker 1: But it's it's still their animation. They're just using the
Speaker 1: AI to bring it, to bring it to life. I guess, so,
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if I said I would
Speaker 1: like to see what he's using the AI for.
Speaker 11: Yeah, yep, all right. Well, and other good news, we've
Speaker 11: been doing a lot. We've had a lot of good
Speaker 11: news today too, Chris Brown and Usher. There is a
Speaker 11: new tour stat that people are talking about because they

Speaker 11: There was an organization called Outloud Out Delaware that invited
Speaker 11: me to speak at this brunch in Delaware, and not
Speaker 11: only I just said yes to it because I saw
Speaker 11: that the girl who created the nonprofit was a Delaware
Speaker 11: State University grad.
Speaker 2: Her name is Jaylen Powell.
Speaker 11: I went there. I didn't know what to expect. I
Speaker 11: got there, that room was like so amazing. So the
Speaker 11: organization that she created, she was in school to be
Speaker 11: an attorney. She actually graduated and then she decided to
Speaker 11: leave her job and create something that was more grassroots,
Speaker 11: so she centers like wellness advocacy and a bunch of
Speaker 11: other things for us, for black people, but also for
Speaker 11: like youth. Right, So it was like my sister's keeper there,
Speaker 11: like it's just a room full of like people that
Speaker 11: not even trying to figure it out, but like knew
Speaker 11: where they were in life, and we're being honest about
Speaker 11: the fact that, like it's okay to take a rest,
Speaker 11: and y'all, I don't know how you because where I'm
Speaker 11: at in my life right now. I was a keynote speaker,
Speaker 11: all right. But also I think a lot of people
Speaker 11: see brown girl grinding and they're trying to figure out
Speaker 11: how I'm figuring it out day to day. We get
Speaker 11: up in the morning, coming here so early, and then
Speaker 11: you know, I'm pretty sane having to do with you,
Speaker 11: you know, every single day. So they wanted to know
Speaker 11: where there do I get rest. But we had an
Speaker 11: honest conversation about learning how to say okay to rest
Speaker 11: and learning how to say no to negative energy like
Speaker 11: ugg but shout out to out loud to continue.
Speaker 2: You are life. You are definitely one of the things
Speaker 2: that happened to me for sure.
Speaker 5: You know what's your life.
Speaker 22: Always continue to what you definitely happened to me, Charlottage,
